Part 6/7:
The financial risks are enormous. With over $270 million already spent—likely to surpass $350 million—Snow White is shaping up to be one of Disney's most expensive flops. The risk is compounded by Ziegler’s reputation among critics and a segment of viewers who see her as emblematic of the company’s perceived shift toward activism at the expense of storytelling quality.
Her actions have not only damaged the film's prospects but have also made her one of the most disliked young celebrities in Hollywood at just 23. Her public tirades about voting, her dismissive attitude toward critics, and her attacks on a major political group have earned her widespread criticism, further tarnishing Disney’s image by association.
